Maturing Stories

Everything We Didn't Say at First is a slow-burn love story about the kind of connection that doesn't arrive loudly, but stays forever. It follows two people whose lives intersect again and again over the years-sometimes closely, sometimes from a distance-always carrying words they never quite find the courage to say. What begins as a quiet bond grows through time, absence, misunderstandings, and the weight of moments that almost became something more. This is a novel about patience and timing, about how love can exist even when it is unspoken, and how the smallest moments-shared glances, unfinished conversations, hands that almost touch-can shape an entire lifetime. As years pass and paths diverge, the question remains: is love defined by what we declare, or by what we carry silently with us? Tender, reflective, and deeply human, Everything We Didn't Say at First explores love not as a single moment, but as a long story written slowly-one choice, one silence, one return at a time.

But every year since that summer at the lake, he's poured his thoughts into handwritten letters to the only person who's ever really seen him-Bryn. As they prepare to leave behind everything they know, fate has plans to bring them back together-at the same college, at the same time. But the handwritten notes never shared the whole truth, will this bring them together or will they burn with the letters? Will the people they have grown to be, still recognize the hearts behind the letters that shaped their childhood?

"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.

Some stories don't end. They just wait to be heard again. From the world of Radio Hearts comes When We Tune In Again-a slow-burn, second-chance romance filled with quiet yearning, late-night scripts, and the kind of love that never really goes away. In Radio Hearts, Mika and Kai captured hearts as two high school students hiding their feelings behind radio shows and shared silences. Now, years later, their story continues-older, wiser, and far more complicated. Mika de Guzman is doing her best to move forward. As a junior scriptwriter at PBK Broadcasting, her days revolve around deadlines, coffee, and keeping things strictly professional-until her past walks right through her front door. Kai Mendoza. Now a producer-director at PBK. Now her boss. Now... her unexpected roommate. They say it's temporary. A coincidence. Strictly work. But how do you stay detached when the person you once loved is suddenly everywhere-editing your scripts, sharing your space, and stirring up every quiet feeling you tried to bury? In high school, silence kept them safe. But now, those silences are louder than ever. And this time, there might not be anywhere left to hide. Perfect for fans of Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, When We Tune In Again is a moving, character-driven romance about missed chances, creative intimacy, and finding your way back to the words left unsaid. Tropes: • Second-chance romance • Forced proximity • Workplace romance • Mutual pining • "There was only one bed" (emotionally, if not literally) • Creative partners to maybe-something-more
